Chaise and I went to college together, and a couple years after we graduated I receive a message from her saying that she and her fiance were eloping in Iceland and wanted me to be her elopement photographer! I’m pretty sure I jumped up and danced around my room or a minute before responding uhhhh yes!
I had been to Iceland before so I was fairly familiar with the photography spots, but this time they wanted to go in the winter – an entirely new challenge! Iceland in the winter is cold, icy, and very windy! But thankfully these two were total troopers and toughed it out in clothes that were definitely not warm enough for the conditions! They even were crazy enough to jump into Seljavallalaug, one of Iceland’s famous “hot springs” that is actually a cold pool in the winter. But hey, it was an adventure and made for some pretty amazing photos!
Capturing their Iceland elopement has to be one of my all-time favorite memories and I’m so thankful I got to share this experience with these two <3
This is why you should elope in Iceland. I mean, are you kidding!? I still can’t get over this spot!
Taking photos at a glacier is a MUST for any Iceland elopement. It was so surreal!
The next day, we had to stop by Skogafoss waterfall, which is one of the most impressive yet accessible waterfalls in Iceland! It makes the perfect backdrop for photos (but be prepared to get a little wet!)
The black sand beaches are another must for eloping in Iceland, they’re just so unique and special!
And at the end of our trip, we stopped at the Seljavallalaug hot spring pool. Unfortunately, it was not hot at all but Chaise and Dallas were still down to jump in and it made for the sweetest photos. 🙂
I’m so happy with how their photos turned out we had such a blast during it all!
